Canopy Bridge
Adrenaline junkies and nature enthusiasts alike will love this spot. Suspended 23 metres in the air, this glass-bottomed bridge allows guests an unencumbered view of the foliage below. Think of it as the greener version of the famed Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge. Guests are encouraged to wear covered shoes to cross the bridge, and slip-resistant covers will also be provided.
Violet Oon
Diners may already be familiar with Violet Oon’s concept of Peranakan fare made posh from their outlets in Bukit Timah, Ion Orchard and the National Gallery. Violet Oon at Jewel is much bigger and grander than its counterparts, but stays true to the spices and flavours of Straits Chinese fare. Whether it’s a one-dish wonder or a quick drink at the long bar, this restaurant offers an experience like no other.
